“Excellent experience having Ajia watch Rosa at our place. She took great care of our dog; playing with her, taking her on walks, giving her meds, and sending lots of pictures. She left our house spotless, and gave us a daily summary of how Rosa was doing. Highly recommend her for any pet needs!”
“Orianna was wonderful. Tater Tot felt very comfortable with her. He ran to her when she came to the door. She stayed overnight at our house and was a model guest! She even offered to take the trash out with her. How thoughtful.”
“Amanda was great with our dog Winnie and Murphy! She took the best photos and gave us great updates. She was super responsible and we definitely recommend her!”
“Kyle was awesome – he took great care of our dog Maya and gave plenty of updates. He also dealt with some unexpected issues with our home, and even helped coordinate building maintenance to start on repairs. We'll absolutely use Kyle as a sitter again.”
“This was my first time using Rover. Tara housesat for me over 4 days. She came over to meet my Amstaff, Zoey, before booking. I really appreciated that time to get to know Tara a little, since I have never left Zoey with someone I don't know—and she is a 12-year-old dog that needs to go out to pee often. Throughout the stay, she sent photos and thoughtful updates, which was comforting to see/know that Zoey was in good hands. I came home to a happy dog and the house was left clean and tidy. I absolutely trust Tara with Zoey and my home—and will definitely book with her again!”
“Our puppy loves her. She is extremely responsive and responsible. They spend several days together while we were out of town and we received many photos and videos. Can only recommend! It's clear she truly cares.”
“MaccaEna was amazing!! I have had issues with dog sitters in the past, but I knew immediately upon meeting her my dogs were in great hands! She is great at communicating and was easy to get a hold of. I came back to a clean home and very happy dogs. Would definitely recommend!!”
“Lili stayed with Ralphie for the day. He immediately warmed up to her and I felt safe leaving Ralphie in her care. She sent us pictures while we were out, fed him dinner and took him for a walk I will definitely use her again!”
“I get nervous leaving my Gus with anyone. He is 15.5 and has some medical issues. But, Lucia was phenomenal and took wonderful care of him! Gus sadly got sick when Lucia was watching him, and she handled it all so well. She was very communicative and showed Gus a lot of love and care to help him feel better. I’m so thankful it was Lucia who was here while I was away. I highly recommend Lucia to take care of your fur babies.”
“The way I could not recommend Madilyn enough. She managed all 3 of our pups beautifully and always sent us pictures and updates while we were gone. She was so attentive and our dogs seemed so happy throughout her visit and when we got home. She is also amazing with big/high energy dogs. She also took great care of our home and made sure we came back to a clean place and happy pups. We will definitely be requesting her services again in the future.”
“Holly was amazing and a life saver. She responded so quickly when we needed last minute help and kept us updated the whole time. Plus our house was impeccable when we arrived. We’re truly thankful and highly recommend her!”
“Patricha was absolutely amazing! She stayed with our dog and house sat for us for several days. We have a very temperamental golden doodle, who can be a bit particular about her food and a bit attention-needy. Not only that, but our pup was also taking medication during our time away. Patricha was very communicative, attentive, and kind. She was also respectful of our home. We felt very comfortable, leaving our pup in her care which meant we were able to truly relax on our vacation. We will absolutely book with her again in the future!”
“Katy was such a blessing! She cared for my older pups as if they were hers, administering meds and eye drops as required. Always a professional, she kept me informed throughout her stay. Highly recommend this sitter! Sincerely hope to reschedule her in the future.”
“Andrea was very professional and also clearly likes animals. She was very clear with me about what she would do and when. I would hire her again. Great job!”
“Crystal is amazing!! Thank you for taking such great care of Chelsea. I greatly appreciate the updates and photos you provided. Can’t wait to have you watch her again soon :)”
“Rio loved his time with Kathleen! I received regular picture and text updates throughout their time together. Definitely recommend and will rebook in the future!”
“Alyssa was an incredible sitter over her stay. She gained our trust early through her care and attention to our dog. She was always responsive and quickly communicated key details which gave us much peace of mind.”
“The aunties are amazing. Super communicative, tons of pictures, I told my friend I felt like I was traveling first class with these pet sitters. My dog looked like he was having the time of his life! Also enjoyed meeting them both at the meet and greet and chatting over the phone. Will definitely book them again.”

Tara was fantastic. She helped us out last minute dog sitting for our four girls. She has excellent communication always responded very quickly. She left the house is great condition as well. I appreciate the pictures while we were out of town. I would definitely work with her again in the future.
Kathleen was so great with Lucy! Lucy is aging and recently started a few new medications! She has arthrits and started struggling with her back legs. Kathleen was so attentive, patient and communicative and took really great care of her. We came back to Lucy more chipper than when we left and the place was spotless
I truly cannot recommend Kelley enough! She took such amazing care of our senior boy, Tyson, while we were away for our wedding and part of our honeymoon. Tyson requires a lot of extra patience, grace, and attention at this stage in his life, and she handled all of his needs with so much love and compassion. Knowing he was in such caring and capable hands gave us so much peace of mind during such an important time in our lives. On top of everything, she navigated an unexpected plumbing emergency at our house without hesitation and handled it like a total pro! She truly went above and beyond in every way, and we are so incredibly grateful for her kindness, flexibility, and the wonderful care she gave Tyson. We couldn't have asked for anyone better and would absolutely book her again in a heartbeat!
Lilian saved the day!! When our boarding situation fell through for our pittie, she had no problem adding him to the pet sit with our other dog last minute. They are a handful together and she did wonderfully. They both also take medications and it’s a lot to manage!!! We are so thankful !! I’m always anxious to leave them and she made me feel relieved.
Another great experience with Vivian. She is so responsive and wonderful with her communications and updates and respectful of our pets and home. We are so lucky to have found her and look forward to having her back next time we go away (and will likely plan our future trips around making sure she's available - it makes such a difference to know our pets are in good hands when we are gone!)
Joanna was wonderful! We were able to do a phone call before the stay, and she arrived early for the stay so that we could walk through our pets’ routines! She was friendly, provided lots of updates, and took excellent care of our cat and dog. We were lucky to have her stay with our pets in our home and look forward to having her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Lake Barcroft is $60 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $111 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 9,873 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lake Barcroft. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Lake Barcroft walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Lake Barcroft maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Lake Barcroft choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
